Egypt Air

Has anyone on here ever flown with Egypt Air? Looking to visit family in the UK in a couple of months and so far they are the cheapest. If anyone out there knows of any other low cost airline or offers I'd be grateful if you'd let me know. I usually fly with Qatar or Ethiad but they are so expensive...

Gym In Market Village

Can anyone tell me what they think of it and whether there are any other alternatives in town. Too many fried noodles lately and too hot to walk around, so something drastic needs to be done.

Re: Stinging Armpits

Funnily enough I was in the pharmacy with the very same problem today, the man gave me Starda B cream cost 90baht to put on 3 times a day and what a relief. Don't know what caused it, maybe the swimming pool or maybe deodourant. But whatever it was it was driving me crazy.

Your sad loss

Sarge, I am so sorry to hear your sad news, like others when I opened this thread I thought that she was arriving to spend some time with you.
She sounds as though she was a wonderful woman and you were very lucky to have had her as a sister.
My prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.

Half naked Farangs

Just an observation, today went into town and was shocked to see lots of people wandering round town, men with no shirt and women in bikini tops, I think they obviously have no respect for the country they are visiting, I said to a Thai lady at the time, the police should fine them all 100 baht each...
